There's a storm in my teacup!

Well, in my dollar store mug.

One of the best things about working at a games shop is that people will be keen to see what games you can pick up, and you can take aforementioned games in, playing them as pseudo-work whilst entertaining staff and customers alike.

And today I get Zelda: the Wind Waker through the post. And I start work in under an hour. I will remember to pack the memory card with me and I'll be showing the game off, for certain.

I've not played the game yet, but as soon as I saw the shimmery gold on the packaging, it gave me wonderful memories of the gold Zelda cartridge for the NES. And I look at the disk, and it's covered with gold - which, on a silver disc, looks a little bit of a mismatch, colourwise.

But it's not like you can review a game based on how pretty the disc is.

Just wanted to let you know Dean that there's a small chance I won't be able to get to your house before work, so if I don't come, would you still bring Zelda to work so I can see it pleeeeease? Hopefully I'll be there, but I'm just warning you in case! (Tottenham are playing, and the traffic in my area becomes an absolute nightmare)
